Альбом Evergrey

Climbing walls of an endless circle
Walking paths you never heard of
Struggling in an endless battle
Searching far for a higher purpose
Drowning in betrayal's river
The freezing cold will make you shiver
Join the world of greater learning
Crown me king and be my servants

Mislead by beauty
One you rarely find
So loving and friendly
It's one of a kind
Their arms wide open
Willing to take me in
No doubts in choosing
A world free from sin

All the dreams I had
All my future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a higher...

Mislead by beauty
One you rarely find
So loving and friendly
It's one of a kind
A single army
A united "one"
A touch of blessing
Which cannot be undone

Drowning in betrayals river
The freezing cold will make you shiver
Join the world of greater learning
Crown me king and be my servants

All the dreams I had
All my future wishes
Put aside for a greater journey
All the things I planned
Left my friends so coldly
Put aside for a higher purpose

All the dreams I had ...

Show your soul for birth of freedom
Leave the cold to share our vision
Will you follow me
Will you walk with me
We'll hold your heart if it bleeds
Let me be your hand of guidance
No more solitude No more independence
If God weeps he weeps through me
And if God hurts it hurts in me

I am
Light to cast away shadows
The Spirit, Holy Ghost and even Jesus
God walking earth
Ambassador

Scattering all dark thoughts wandering
I shatter all doubts surfacing
This is my rescue and salvation
Undivided and blessed vision

I am Light to cast away shadows
The Spirit, Holy Ghost and even Jesus
God walking earth Ambassador

I am...

So high on believing
Not seeing your changing
I carry the weight and I'm weary
We're wounded severely
Despite of your vision
You claim seeing so clearly
Can't respect your decision
In the wake of the weary

Your angels are calling
The aim is rewarding
Through ashes and falling
So helpless and withering

We're wounded severely

Despite of your treason
And a future I'm fearing
I try to run when the walls come down
Try to hide from the feelings I'm fearing but stilI...
Can't respect your decision

We're wounded severely
Should see it so clearly
And I can't take it no more
A life in a lie where I scream and I cry
But she wont lie no more

solo: Danhage

Your angels are calling
The aim is rewarding
Through ashes and falling
So helpless and withering

solo: Englund

Your angels are calling ...

Relentless I'm speechless
Im fooled by my inner weakness
Enticing Inspiring
Your words were so convincing
Delightful but soulless
Claimed harmless wishes seems less
Exciting
Just frightening

No more dawning days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Forever falling
No more screams in vain
No more dreams put to shame
It's only me
Only me

Defenseless and smiling
Her innocence is shining
His own flesh and own blood
His words were so convincing
Delightful so beautiful
Can't stop what he's been told
She's three years old

No more dawning days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Forever falling
No more screams in vain
No more dreams put to shame
It's only me who's forever
Falling, sleepwalking, desperate, calling

No more dawning days
Only whispers of darkened ways
Forever falling tears
Lands in the hands of somber fate

solo: Danhage

No more dawning days
No more screams in vain
No more feeling pain
Forever...
Forever...

Leave the lie you got to find a way
Ask yourself why and give yourself a reason to stay
Leave the lie am I begging in vain
We're all left to fight with why
You're not the same.

solo: Danhage

Left behind we are stranded not free
In silence I cry what went wrong was it me
Led to believe in a truth that was false
Truth built on greed and the faith of the weak

Waking up blind and blind you must be
So stupid of me to believe in your hypocrisy
Gave it all up for life in a dream
So foolish of me to not stop your infidelity

Unfaithful
Unfaithful to life

solo: Englund

Time for a breather let it all sink in
A pause from the deceiver and to reach deep within
I close my eyes if only for a second
To let my courage rise
All I need is one more reason
To fail you as you failed me

Waiting for the waves to break
Hoping for the tide to change
Embracing the awaiting aim
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever

I've tried to many times to leave you
Just as many times as I've cried to see you
Every road has it's end and my ends here
And so does my faith

solo: Danhage / Englund

Waiting for the waves to break
Hoping for the tide to change
Embracing the awaiting aim
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever
Believing more than ever

Her gentle hand in his
Revelation serves as bliss
They walk away from sunshine
Led to believe the lie
His lust for untouched youth
A well kept secret sealed
His every night confession
Reveals the most profane obsession

Their trust is won and fate is conquered
The essence of conviction

Why me ?
I did no wrong
I did not know
You lied to me
I meant no harm
And I am blaming me

Hand in hand down the altar aisle
Her father's presence brings her to a smile
A grand welcome from the assembled crowd
Greeted as the' circles' first child
Undressed to nothing and held to the sky
Her smile is gone and she starts to cry
Desperately seeking her father's eyes
But he sees nothing
He's blind...

Why me ?
I did no wrong
I did not know
You lied to me
I meant no harm
And I am blaming me
Why me ?
You lied to me...
You lied to me ......

solo: Danhage

You lied to me ...
You lied to me ...

In depths so deep
I can't believe
Confusion conquers and frustration wins
Into where light does not reach
This is where pain and sorrow meets

Into denial
Baptized into a liar
Give me the power
Would you Could you

Caught in a world where angels weep
Where hatred battles, greed and frustration wins
Chained to a world where all good sleep
This is where pain and sorrow meets

solo: Englund

Into denial
Baptized into a liar
Give me the power
Could you Would you

I'm doubting still denying
The truth was more than shocking
I'm doubting I'm hiding. hiding
I'm running knowing they're watching
I'm still in disbelief from what I've seen
where I'm hiding...hiding....

Hide... Run...

Into denial
Baptized into a liar
Give me the power
Could you
Would you

In a moment of clarity
It all became crystal
And now I try to find someone to heal me
I'm broken

Through the mist in a dream where I show you
Through the rain and the dark that holds you
Heal me
I'm broken

Time to discover what lies hidden in the sand
Time for renewal and to be cleansed by the hand
To heal me relieve me
Heal me
Release me while I'm still breathing

And when it all came to clarity
There was no perfection
Dreams were shattered
Hopes washed away

Through the mist in a dream where I show you
Through the rain and the dark that holds you
Heal me
I'm broken

(If you're one of those people who believe that
You cannot be free from the bondage of sin...
I'm not talking about perfection...
But do not believe that you can ever be free...
That there will always be bondage in your life...
I have nothing more to say to you.
This message from now on will mean nothing to you...)

Time to start over
I'm given a new chance
And time to discover
There were no treasures in the sand
To heal me relieve me
Heal me
Release me while I'm still breathing

Lord if you don't help I can't get through this
I can't
Lord I'm too old for games
Foolish games
And I'm tired of rhetoric
Meaningless rhetoric
That never changes things
Lord just help me
Help me

I was feeling God's pain
And I've never had anything
That's been any worth to God
In my 50 years
That wasn't born in agony
Never never
Dead...empty...
And I know that sermons won't do it
I know that Revelation won't do it
Covenant won't do it
I know now
Oh my God
Do I know it
Until I hit agony
Until I have been anguished over it
I'm preaching sermons
Oh God

I broke down
And I wept
And I mourned
Does it matter to you at all
I can't handle this
I can barely make it as it is

Little by little
You're losing it
The lamb of God
The love of Christ
People I know that were my friends
And I see them go one by one
Some of my closest friends
You're changing
You know what you were
You're changing
Little by little
Something's happening to you
Will it bring you to your knees
That's all the Devil wants to do
Is get the fight out of you
And kill it
So you won't labor in prayer anymore
You won't weep before God anymore
Go to Hell
No weeping
Not a word of prayer
It's all ruined
No laughing
This is life and death
When the walls go down
And ruin sets in
Where are the tears
Where's the mourning
Where's the confessing
Love of Christ
The agony
Of God's heart
We have sinned...

I painted a picture of you,
your soul was red and your mind was blue.
Destiny laid a light on my creation.
This dream I had made a slave of my passion,
reality was always too far away.

And we were happy until it came too close one day.
Suddenly I faced the truth of my dream,
my love had only been a picture, a scene.
I suppose I needed to believe,
didn't want to see you had never been close to me.

But I'm sorry,
this illusion has caused you a lot of pain.
And I have no solution,
I'll try to never be back again.

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I painted a picture of you.
My dream was a lie and the lie became truth.
Reality held his breath too long.
It's disgusting what dreams can do.

But I'm sorry,
this illusion has caused you a lot of pain.
And I have no solution,
I'll try to never be back again.

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

One step at a time
Small progress seems futile
But it's as valuable as life

I'm engaged to longing
With sorrow as the ring
Controlling me, denying me

My every morning is in every way
The beginning of a recreation day
The beginning of a recreation...

Time heals, but still the mourning reigns
I still breath when the loss reminds me again
I am here
Life is fear
And sorrow's all I know

Am I in debt cause so it seems
But what I owe,
I don't know
Devoured by guilt and cursed beyond control

My every morning is in every way
The beginning of a recreation day
The beginning of a recreation... (x 2)

(Solo : Englund/Danhage)

My every morning is in every way
The beginning of a recreation day
The beginning of a recreation... (x 2)

I've been searching for so long
For someone to lead the way
And I've been searching for someone
Someone to ease the pain
And I've been searching for someone
Anyone to help me cure my shame
Madness caught another victim
And the victim's name is blame

What are my options?
When the road I'm walking ends
What are my options?
When all my ambitions fails

The words you now are reading
Are meant for your eyes only
I hoped for strength but now I'm leaving
Cause I fear my feelings
And to not do you justice
Is too much for me to bare
And as courage is my weakness
I choose the cowards path

What are my options?
When the road that I'm walking ends?
And what are my options?
When the last ship of hope have sailed
What are my options?
When the road that I'm walking ends
So what are my options?
When my words are all that remains
